If your establishment is covered under The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 then you are obliged to have standing orders certified from the Certifying Officer of your area under this Act.

Model Standing Orders refer to the one given in the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 as a model for those who wish to draft one. An employer can take the same, add or remove certain rules, consult with the workers/ representatives and get it certified. Once it is certified, it becomes certified standing orders. A certified standing order can be amended after a period of six months.

After preparing the draft standing orders, 5 copies have to be submitted to the Appropriate Authority (Normally the Regional Joint commissioner of Labour will be the authority) for certification.

The Appropriate Authority will call both employer representative and employee representatives/unions and he will give a chance to the employee representatives to file their written counter statement. After hearing both the parties the authority will certify the Standing Orders after effecting the required changes, which will become the certified Standing Orders of the company.


In case of any grievance over the Standing Orders, the Act contemplates even a single employee can challenge any of the provisions and request for an amendment.

It is always better to have our own Standing Orders suiting our requirements
